I completely forgot about that storyline involving the school. Ryder's mates (Josh and Blake I think?) also appeared early 2020 in an episode playing pool against Nikau and Bella.

Yeah even tho she and Ben left mid last year I don't think we saw the school at all. Last was prob mid-late 2019 but may have been even longer. Coco and Raffy left that year and Bella dropped out that year too I think so it was just Ryder that finished but I don't think we had any school scenes with him on his own or taking exams and was just all off-screen.

Yeah Christian is a great character. One of the best in ages. I hope him and Tori don't break up any time soon.

The Braxtons in London storyline originally had Casey run into Ruby but when Rebecca Breeds couldn't make it, they invented the Linda character for Casey.

I can't remember. I think it was that Irene looked different. I think there was a reference the hair as well but in a separate scene. I may be misremembering though.

I remember a few years ago when Marilyn lost her memory she made a comment about Irene looking different that seemed to a reference to her being recast. Someone pointed out she made a similar comment about Roo's recast as well. Nice bit of continuity or perhaps just coincidence. I wonder if there's been other recasts shes reacted to.

Yeah I remember that. TPTB don't seem to care about the history pre 2010. This just seems to be yet another example. The 30th year also had the 7000 episode. Two very big milestones and nothing really to acknowledge it or returning of previous characters. I guess it depends how iconic one would view her. I think a new character named Sally, Ailsa, Don etc. would seem weird.

Tom Nash and Tom Fletcher Jack Holden and Jack Wilson, technically Justin Morgan/Jack Lee as well Josh West and Josh Barret Casey Braxton and Casey Mitchell Liam Tanner and Liam Murphy Alex Poulos and Alex Bennett Brodie Hanson and Brody Morgan Maybe more but we've had long term guest characters share the same name as a regular.

I wouldn't be surprised if its revealed he is later. Olympic/ series finale cliffhanger perhaps.

Regarding Rachel and Tony's wedding, Rachel went missing on the day of and never turned up. I recall they found out she was in contact with Hugh (who was back in Australia, they assumed she ran off with him and the wedding was cancelled. But yeah it turned out she was kidnapped by Aden.

Hah that would have been pretty good

I think it's more to do with their contract. From what I understand, they get to show the newest episode first in Europe but have to be a minimum of whatever weeks it is behind Aus pace.
